A/N; This is my nanowrimo novel. If you don't know what that is, it is a concept where you pledge to try you're hardest to write 50,000 words for a book in the month of November. I didn't make to 50,000 but I was only ten thousand away. This isn't unedited besides by my spellcheck so there may be some errors. I haven't finished this either and I probably won't unless I get motived to. But I decided to post what I have written so you can decide if you like it or not.

Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter as I am not J.K. Rowling. And I don't see why anyone would think she would waste her time writing fanfiction if she could be writing cannon.


"Moping, Potter? Tsk tsk. What will your fans think of the Great Harry Potter moping on what some would call a beautiful day?" Draco Malfoy said mockingly to Harry Potter when he saw him sitting a window sill after he had rounded the corner. "Go away, Malfoy. I'm not in the mood to deal with you." Harry said without looking away from the view he got from sitting in a window sill. "Where are your cronies, Potter? Did they get lost or did they finally abandon you?" Harry finally turned away from the view and nearly screamed, "Shut up, Malfoy. You don't know nothing. You don't know anything at all. You don't have any friends. You're the one with cronies not me. I have friends something you'll never have because everyone freaking hates you." "You are the one who doesn't know anything, Potter. Did you're 'friends' leave you then? Did I hit a sore spot?"

"Oh, Hello Harry." Luna Lovegood said as she rounded the corner with Ginny Weasley. "Harry, have you seen Ron or Hermione? Or both of them? We can't find them." Ginny said casting a worried look at Harry and a hateful one at Malfoy. "I haven't seen them since lunch." Harry said sharply. "Why? Did the Mudblood and Weasel run off together and forget get about you?" Malfoy said in mock concern. "Listen here Malfoy. You shut up about Hermione and Ron or I'll-" "You'll what? Curse me? You won't get away with it." Malfoy said cutting off Ginny.

"There's three of us and only one of you. We could stuff you in a closet and nobody would figure it out." Harry threaten. "I don't think that would solve our problems. He would get out in at the latest two days- unless you were planning on killing him. And if we are I really must go because I cannot condone that." Luna said in her dreamy not really there sort of way.

"Maybe you should leave, Luna." Ginny suggested with a evil scary grin on her face. Malfoy fired a curse to make her bald at her. Ginny threw a bat bogey at him and then Harry fired his own spell and soon the three teens were in a two against one duel with Luna throwing the odd stunner or disarming spell into the mix.

And then almost as if in slow motion four spells hit each other and a bright light filled the corridor. Harry, Ginny, Luna, and Malfoy all begun to feel dizzy and sleepy and the oddest feeling of moving without moving themselves. And then they felt cold, like they had been dipped in ice water over and over again. And then they felt like they were drowning and they fought to get out to swim to the top but they couldn't move their bodies. And the light was so blinding and bright but they couldn't close their eyes. The colors were swirling all around and changing. Blue, red, green, and purple were all mixing together and they couldn't see anything but those colors just swirling. They felt their wands and robes and everything on their bodies and their souls being stripped away and they panicked. They had no defense, no way to guard themselves, they had nothing, and were nothing. But then they felt themselves get covered again. No one knew their souls or their bodies but them again. And it felt so right but wrong too. Like they shouldn't be covered so much, so guarded. That they should bare their souls and be happy. But they shook that feeling away, it didn't belong. Why would they want to let anyone that close, that familiar, with them? They were fine with it just being me, myself, and I that close and didn't see why they should change it. They felt fabric against their skin but couldn't see anything but the colors still. And then everything went black.

"What the bloody hell?" Malfoy cried as soon as he opened his blue-grey eyes. "Ugh," Harry said after he opened his eyes "Too bright." "No kidding." Ginny said as she flopped back on her back. Luna was just blinking rapidly and looking around her. "Does anyone know where we may be?" She said. "What do you mean?" Harry said opening his eyes again and looking around him. "What the bloody hell?" He said after he took stock of his surroundings. "Are we on a beach? How on earth did we get on a beach? What happened? How are-" "Weasley just shut up." Malfoy said cutting off Ginny's panicked questions.

"She does pose a good question." Luna said looking around her. They were on a beach. A beach with sand, ocean, and palm trees. There was thick forest behind them, palm trees sparsely across the wide long beach, and there a huge body of water that Harry was certain was a ocean. But many even weirder was the outfits they were wearing. They weren't wearing their school robes anymore.

Harry was wearing breech pants and a green cotton long-sleeved shirt with little brass buttons. Draco had on breech pants too and a grey-blue cotton long-sleeved shirt. Ginny was wearing a loose long-sleeved brown dress with a bright red, like her hair, colored sash tied around the middle. Luna was wearing a similar loose long-sleeved dress but hers was light blue and she had cream colored sash. They were all bare footed and Ginny's hair the had been in a ponytail was loose around her face.

"Something weird is going on." Harry said and Malfoy shot him a look that said 'No duh'. "Well, what are we going to do?" Luna asked. "We? Who said anything about we?" Malfoy exclaimed.

"If you want to go off by yourself, we aren't going to stop. In fact please do." Harry biting said.

"Boys, I do believe we should work together." Luna said stopping the argument in it's tracks.

"I'm not working with you, Loony. I would be killed in a hour." Malfoy retorted.

"Fine then. Go in the forest and get eaten by what's ever in there. I'll make sure to tell your parents and cronies that you died on your knees begging for one of us to save you." Ginny hissed angrily taking a step closer to Malfoy. "I'm not afraid of you, Weaselette." Malfoy hissed back taking a step closer to her. Luna coughed loudly and said, "I think we should come one with a plan and then argue." "Luna's right. We need a plan." Harry said with a pointed look at Ginny. "Fine." "Fine"

"So what are we gonna do?" Ginny asked after a long pause. "Perhaps we should split up and two of us go in one direction down the beach and the other two go in the other direction." Luna suggested. The four teens, after several insults and arguments, decided to do that. Harry and Ginny went one way down the beach and Luna and Draco went the other.

"This is completely bizarre." Ginny said after a few minutes of silence. Harry made a noise in agreement and nodded. "I feel like I walked out of one of my roommates romance novels," Harry looked at her questioningly and so she added, "A long flowy dress, a seemly deserted island, a good looking guy," Here Harry started turning a interesting red color and Ginny giggled a bit. "And a walk on a beach." She finished. "I don't really think that this will turn out to be a romance novel. Probably a horror story."

"It probably won't be romance story but I don't think it will be a horror story."

"We're on a island with no one to stop Malfoy from killing us in our sleep or us from killing him in anger.'

"Well, Luna's putting a stop to some of them."

"Yeah, I guess."

"I hope Malfoy hasn't done anything to her."

"Me too but she's pretty tough."

"Of course she is. Just because she's a girl doesn't mean she's weak."

"I didn't say anything like that, Ginny. I just said she's tough."

"But you met it."

"Met it? Why would I say she's tough if I didn't mean it?"

"No, not that. How thick are you?"

"Ginny, what- ugh. Women."

"Boys"

"Best friend's little sister."

Ginny gasped and then hissed out, "That was low."

Harry glared and said, "You asked for it."

"I did not."

"You did too."

"You're- You're- You're- Ugh."

At some point during their argument, they had stopped walking and now stood with their faces inches apart. So when Ginny threw her arms up in frustration, she hit Harry in the face knocking him back a little. "Oh man, I'm sorry," Ginny said "Are you alright?" Harry nodded and said, "Yeah, I guess so."

"Good but you kinda deserved it for pulling the best friend's little sister card."

"Yeah. I guess that was pretty low."

Ginny nodded and said, "Let me see your face."

Harry let her and she gently touched the bruise that was already forming.

"Does that hurt?"

"Not really."

Ginny smiled slightly and nodded. She glanced at his eyes and was pulled in by how green they were. Ginny started leaning in but ruptly pulled back and coughed loudly. Harry took a few steps back and looked at the forest edge.

"Should we start walking back? I can't see any sign of wizards or humans in general." Harry asked pointing in the direction they came from. Ginny nodded and tried to put the weird feeling in her stomach when she looked in Harry's eyes away in the back of her mind.

"Did you find anything?" Harry asked Luna, ignoring Malfoy standing right beside her. "Oh, yes. We found a small hut that was abandoned." Luna replied. "Really? Did you see anyone?" Ginny asked precking up a bit. "Weren't you listening, Weasley? She just said it was abandoned." Malfoy said sneering at her. Ginny deflated a little and quietly said, "Oh."

"Well, we might as well go there. Ginny and me didn't find anything." Harry said to the group as a whole. "Yes, I suppose we should. It is getting dark and I would rather find the creatures in this forest in the morning. " Luna said and then she turned and started going the why she and Draco had gone earlier. She turned slightly to look at them and asked, "Are you coming?"

It smelled horrible. That's what Harry thought when he first walked into the abandoned hut. By the looks on the other's faces, they agreed. The second thing he noticed was that it was very, very dirty. Years of cleaning to Aunt Petunia's standards made him itch to start cleaning the hut. Then he noticed it was in pretty okay shape. There were no holes in the walls, floor, or ceiling. The door was pretty strong and had a latch. There was a window with shutters that latched on the wall facing the door.

"I guess we're staying here for the night." Ginny said. Draco sneered and opened his mouth to reply but Luna cut him off, "You could stay outside. I'm sure Ginny and Harry won't protest." Draco looked at all their faces and then said as he was walking to the door, "I will. I don't need a bunch of idiotic Gryffindors or a loony Ravenclaw to help me."

Malfoy opened the door, stomped out, and let the door slam behind him. Harry and Ginny looked at each other and shrugged. Luna just stared at the door in a sort of vague interest. Ginny sighed and looked around the one room hut. "This place is horrible." She said breaking the silence. "Look on the bright side." Luna said to her. "What bright side?" Ginny asked bitterly, "I'm cold and hungary and this place is dirty and nasty and I think it's going to rain."

"We could be captured and tortured by Death Eater or dead or-" "I think she gets it." Harry said interrupting Luna after seeing how white Ginny's face gotten. "What if this is a trap? What if Malfoy planned this and we're going to die?" Ginny asked crazily. "Ginny, calm down. Take a deep breath." Harry said calmingly. "Yes, Ginny. Draco couldn't of plan this. No matter how smart or cunning someone is they couldn't of pan this. It was by pure, lovely chance." Luna said seriously, for her anyway. Ginny took several deep breathes and calmed somewhat. "This situation is horrible." She stated matter of factly. Harry nodded and Luna made a small noise of agreement. Just then they heard thunder and the start of raindrops falling. Harry sighed and closed the window shutters.

After a seemly long time Harry, Luna, and Ginny were started by the sound of something pounding on the door. They had been sitting in the middle of the room, huddled closely for body warmth. They all whipped their heads around to the door and stared at it. The pounding wouldn't stop and without saying anything Harry got up and walked the short distance to the door. "Careful." Ginny whispered just loud enough to be heard over the rain. Harry nodded and slowly undid the latch and opened the door. There was Malfoy, soaking wet and shivering. He pushed past Harry and went into the hut. Harry looked back and forth between the outside and Malfoy. After he did this several times, Malfoy said frustrated, "Close the damn door, Potter. I came here to get out of the rain." Harry closed the door and latched it and then Ginny exploded. "What are you doing here? You said you didn't want the help of 'two idiotic Gryffindors and a loony Ravenclaw?" Ginny was doing a pretty impression of Malfoy's sneer as she quoted him. "I'm wet and cold and hungary and right now I'm will to call a-a-a-" "A what?" Harry interrupted Malfoy's sentence. Malfoy took a deep breath and said with a underlining determination, "A truce."

"A truce? With you?" Harry said. "Think about it. We have no idea how we got here or how long we're going to be here. So we should work together so we aren't cold or hungary for long." Malfoy explained his reasoning and then he looked at each of their faces. "I think- I think it may be a good idea. A truce." Luna said softly from her spot of the floor. "No insulting me or my family or my friends." Ginny said strictly. Malfoy nodded to her and then looked with cool eyes at Harry. "If you can keep your mouth shut then maybe it can work." "I'll keep my mouth shut if you keep yours shut about my parents and friends." After saying that Malfoy held out a hand to Harry. Harry looked at it for a long minute but then he grasped it and shook Malfoy's hand. For some reason, Ginny felt that she had just witnessed something huge, something really important. But she had no idea what or why she felt that way. She glanced at Luna and saw she had a small smile on her face. If Ginny thought she would actually figure it out she would have made a mental to talk to Luna about it.


"Talk about something." Malfoy demanded. They had laid in the hard floor in the small room and were trying to fall asleep for what felt like an hour. "Why?" Ginny asked, glaring at Malfoy. "Well, I don't think we're going to get to sleep anytime soon and it's too quiet." Harry snickered at Malfoy and said, "I would say something but it would break our truce."

"Shut up, Potter."

"You shut up, Malfoy."

"You."

"You."

"You."

"You."

"You."

"You."

"You."

"You."

"You."

"You."

"You."

"You."

"You."

"Y-"

"WOULD THE BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP" Ginny yelled making Harry and Malfoy jump. Luna laughed quietly and said, "I wonder how much someone what pay to see you in a circus. Harry, Ginny, and Malfoy sat up a bit to look at her oddly. Malfoy opened his mouth to respond but Ginny cut him off, "Since the two of you want to talk so badly, I think we should play a game." "What kind of game?" Harry asked looking at her. "Truth or Secret. It's my roommates' favorite game to play." "I'm not playing some game made up some teenaged girl Gryffindors." Malfoy scorned "Fine then no talking." After a minute or two with only sound being the raindrops hitting the roof, Malfoy asked "How do you play?" "It's easy. Think of Truth of Dare. If you pick Truth then the asker asks you a question you have to answer truthfully. If you pick secret then you tell everyone something that only a few people know. No more then five people can know the secret and you can't say something that the asker only ready knows." Ginny explained looking a bit output that Malfoy wasn't willing to sit in silence.

"Fine. Who starts?" "I will. Now first we have to promise that nothing we say here is repeated to anyone other than us four." Ginny said looking pointedly at Malfoy. "I won't tell anyone." Luna said. "Me neither." Harry added after a few seconds. "I won't tell any of your precious secrets." Malfoy said. "I won't tell either. Now, Harry Truth or Secret." "Truth." Harry responded after thing about it for a few seconds. "Hmm, who was your first kiss?" "Cho Chang." Harry said blushing a little. Malfoy scoffed but didn't say anything. Harry cleared his throat and looked at Luna and asked, "Truth or Secret?" "I think I'll chose truth." "What's your favorite school subject?"

The game continued in that vein for a quite. Nobody was comfortable to ask anything other than shallow questions and nobody chose secret. Until Luna asked Harry, "Who was the first magical person your age that you met?" Ginny was expecting him to say Ron or Fred or George or her so she didn't understand why he took at least two minutes to answer. When he finally responded and said, "Malfoy" she would later be disappointed with herself for yelling out loud, "What?" instead for keeping it in her head. After that it seemed like a wall had been broken down. Harry, avoiding looking at anyone, turned to Malfoy and asked, "Truth or Secret" "Truth." "Why did you offer your friendship to me that first trip on the train?" Malfoy was quiet for a few minutes, everyone was. Ginny was just trying hard to not faint from shock. "You're Harry Potter," Malfoy all but whispered "You weren't on anyone's side then. If you were my friend then I would be - And Father told me to."

"You know if you hadn't insulted Ron I might of accepted." Harry said quietly looking at Malfoy. "I had never really dealt with anyone who wasn't the same social standing as me." Malfoy said looking back at Harry. Ginny had that feeling again. The one that she was watching something increiblely important but she still didn't know what.


*Back At Hogwarts*

"Ron, was Harry up there?" Hermione asked franicly. Ron shook his head and plopped down in a armchair in the Gryffindor Common Room by the fire and took out a deck of Exploring Snap cards. "You wanna play, Hermione?" He asked as he shuffled the deck. "Ron, this is serious. We can't find Harry and Ginny's not up in her dorm either and what if something happened to them? Is there anywhere else he could be? Ron, maybe-" "Relax Hermione. Ginny was going to hang out with Luna for the day and Harry is always disappearing. They're fine," Ron said cutting her off "It's not like they can just be sucked into a magic portal or something." Hermione's eyes widen and Ron said quickly, "I was just kidding, Hermione. Relax." Hermione took a deep breath and sat down. After a minute of Hermione staring at the fire and Ron shuffling his cards, she asked "Maybe we could get the map and just look to see if we can find them?"

Ron sighed but nodded and went to go get it. He came back down with it and went over to a corner of the common room gesturing for Hermione to come over. "I somlemly swear I am up to no good." He whispered as he point his wand at the map. Ink appeared on the parchment and formed the halls of Hogwarts. Ron and Hermione spent ten minutes going over the map looking for the dot that says Harry Potter or Ginerva Weasley. "He's not on here." Hermione cried softly. "The place is huge, Hermione. We probably just missed him." Ron said still combing the map.

Five minutes later, Ron was worried and Hermione was even more worried.

Five minutes after that, Ron was starting to think Hermione was right and Hermione was starting to wish she wasn't almost always right.

Ten minutes after that , They decided to go see Professor McGonagall.

"Are you certain that Mr. Potter and Miss Weasley are not in the castle?" Professor Minerva McGonagall asked Hermione and Ron. "Yeah, we can't find them anywhere and Ginny does usually disappear for long." Ron replied worriedly. "What about Mr. Potter? Does he disappear often?" She asked her students. "Sometimes he disappears for a few hours after classes or on weekends." Hermione answered looking up from her shoes. Professor McGonagall frowned and looked disappointedly at them and asked, "You never tried to find him? You don't know where he goes?"

"We use to but he usually just gets mad and storms off. Most of the time he walks around the castle or he goes and sits out at the lake." Ron said. "How do you know he has just found a new place to wander off to?" McGonagall asked. "He's never gone this long. He's always back at least a hour before curfew." Professor McGonagall's frown deepen ad she asked, "When was the last time you saw him?" Hermione frowned and then said, "Lunch, I think. Ron tried to find him to see if he wanted to play a pick-up quidditch game but he couldn't find Harry."

"What about Miss Weasley?" Ron cleared his throat and then said, "She was going to spend the day hanging out with Luna Lovegood. I think I saw her at breakfast but I dunno." Professor McGonagall sighed. "We need to go see the Headmaster." She said. She strode out of her office and walked through the corridors until she, Ron, and Hermione had arrived in front of the gargoyle guarding the door to the Headmaster's office. "Lemon Drop." Professor McGonagall said slight disdain. They stepped onto the moving staircase and waited until they arrive at the top. She knocked on the door and opened the door when she heard "Come on in." from inside the office. "Headmaster, I believe that Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger have something important to tell you." She told Professor Dumbledore after she, Ron, and Hermione had entered the office. "Oh? And what is it?" He asked. "Professor, we, Ron and I, think that Harry and Ginny are missing." Hermione said nervously. Dumbledore's face turned serious and he look gravely at them. "Now why would you think that, Miss Granger?" He asked. Ron cleared his throat nervously and said, "We haven't seen Harry since lunch and neither has any of our roommates. And Ginny wasn't at dinner and neither was Luna. She and Luna where going to spend the day together but no one's seen them for a while."

"Are you sure that they simply lost track of time?" "Yeah, Harry always shows up before dinner unless something really bugging him but he tells us if he's going to not be at dinner. And Ginny never misses a meal, never." Ron replied. "Thank you for bringing this to my attention. If you have said all you wish to you may return to your common." Dumbledore said solmley. Ron and Hermione looked slightly output but nodded and left the office. "Albus? Do you think You-Know-Who has done something?" McGonagall asked with worried eyes. "No, Minerva. I do not think Voldemort has anything to do with this. If Mr. Potter and Miss. Weasley are truly missing. I think I should ask you and the other Heads of House s to do a head count."

"You don't think other students are missing, do you?" Minerva asked shocked. "I think it is better safe than sorry. Now please Minerva." "Okay, Albus. I'll go tell the others. What do we tell the students?" "Leave that to me, please. If they ask, just say it is a safety precaution. There is no need to cause unneeded panic." "And the Professors?" "The truth, I believe. They are the Professors." "Alright, Albus."

"Draco Malfoy, Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley, and Harry Potter are nowhere to be found in the castle, Albus." Minerva said some few hours later. When four students had not been found, the professors had searched the castle to find them but couldn't. "Do you have any clue where they may be?" Albus asked tiredly. "There was spell damage in the west corridor on the fourth floor. Nearby there was a book bag that is believed to be Mr. Malfoy's." Minerva reported. "Nothing else?" "No, nothing else. It's like they disappeared in thin air, Albus. Severus said he and Fllius will be examining the area to see if they can deterim what happened there." Minerva replied. Albus sighed and rubbed his temples and the said, "Tomorrow during breakfast I will tell the students."

Ever since Dumbledore had told the school four students were missing it had been complete chaos and not the good kind. There were many rumors going around but most were complete nonsense. Things like Draco had tried to kidnap Potter but Weasley and Lovegood had shown up and helped him but Draco still portkeyed them out of hogwarts to You-Know-Who's hideout. Or Draco had tried to kill Potter and Weasley and Lovegood for sending his father to prison and somehow he teleported them out of Hogwarts. Or that Potter had tried to kill Draco. Or all four of them got in a duel and blew each other up. Pansy Parkinson didn't know what had happened but she didn't believe any of those rumors. Draco wasn't a Gryffindor and he wouldn't do half the things the other students tried to claim he did and the half he would have told her if he was going to do them. Something was really wrong and those Gryffindors were in the middle of it, as usual. Only this time it wasn't Ron Weasley and Granger helping Potter this time, it was Ginny Weasley and Loony Lovegood. Pansy and Draco had been friend for as all as either of them could remember, she knew him.

And he would have told her and probably the other Slytherin in their year if he was planning something. So that ruled out most of the theories. But maybe Potter ambushed Draco? But was is the motive? Potter didn't usually start things with Draco, that was Draco or Weasley. Pansy sighed. She wasn't going this out anytime soon probably. Draco was the one that lead the group. He figure the motives and the objectives of other people. He was good at it too. He knew the motives, objectives, and everything else that matters to him in a few minutes most of the time. Pansy sighed again. She just hopes that he'll be back soon. He's her best friend and she's lost with out him.

A/N; So please tell what you think of this so I know if this idea is one that is good or not.
